Jeremiah 8:10-12
English Standard Version
10 (A)Therefore I will give their wives to others
and their fields to conquerors,
because from the least to the greatest
everyone (B)is greedy for unjust gain;
from prophet to priest,
everyone deals falsely.
11 They have healed (C)the wound of my people lightly,
saying, ‘Peace, peace,’
when there is no peace.
12 Were they ashamed when they committed abomination?
No, (D)they were not at all ashamed;
they did not know how to blush.
(E)Therefore they shall fall among the fallen;
when I punish them, they shall be overthrown,
says the Lord.
Jeremiah 8:10-12
International Standard Version
10 Therefore, I’ll give their wives to others,
and their fields to new owners.
Indeed, from the least important to the most important,
they’re all greedy for dishonest gain.
From prophet to priest,
they all act deceitfully.
11 They have treated my people’s[a] wound
superficially, telling them, ‘Peace, peace,’
when there is no peace.
12 Are they ashamed because they have done
what is repugnant to God?[b]
They weren’t ashamed at all;
they don’t even know how to blush!
Therefore they’ll fall with those who fall.
When I punish them, they’ll be brought down,”
says the Lord.
